A gallery of images by professional photographers and rising stars from around the world linked by a passion for photographic excellence. DxO Optics Pro image enhancement software is an indispensable part of their workflow.

Paris, France October 20, 2005 - DxO Labs today announced its new photography gallery, DxO Image Masters, showcasing the work of professional photographers and rising stars from around the world who integrate DxO Optics Pro into their workflow.

"DxO Image Masters is a dynamic venue in which to experience the results--and advantages--of DxO Optics Pro digital image enhancement software," said Luc Marin, Vice President of the Photography Business at DxO Labs.

DxO Image Masters debuts later this fall with 17 photographers from Germany, Canada, Puerto Rico, India and the US and UK and whose passion and expertise encompass the realms of fashion, portrait, equine, wedding, aerial, panoramic, landscape and wilderness, nude and architecture. These first 17 DxO Image Masters are: Aneesh Bhasin, Alain Briot, Keith Cooper, Ian Coristine, Nick Crossland, Jeni Fong, Hank Gans, JR Geoffrion, Lynne Glazer, Alan Haynes, Mark Junak, Heinz Kleim, Dwight Lutsey, Paco Márquez, Richard McDowell, Kurt Motogawa, Dan Santillo. The list below includes additional information about these photographers.

While the specialties of the photographers vary, one common thread is their demanding standard for perfection and, hence, their use of DxO Optics Pro digital image enhancement software at the outset of their workflow to improve image quality. "DxO Optics Pro is a cornerstone of the workflow of the professionals who use it. Our hope is that their successful experiences will be an inspiration for others to try DxO Optics Pro," continued Luc Marin.

DxO Image Masters can be found online later this fall at http://www.dxo.com

DxO Image Masters is an invitation only program for professional photographers using DxO Optics Pro. Interested parties should contact [email protected].
